Question

Practice: Organizing Information

Complete the chart to describe the laws of radicals.
The first column shows the law.
For the second column, I need to show with letters.
And for the last column, I need to show with numbers.

Answer 1

`\sqrt{(a)/(b)} = ( √(a))/( √(b))`
You will often be asked to "rationalize the denominator," in which case

`\sqrt{(a)/(b)} = ( √(ab))/(b)`


`\sqrt{(2)/(5)} = (√(2))/( √(5)) = ( √(10))/(5)`
